Aria did not expect that this building would be filled with so many people. She thought, even no one would attend this business wedding. Her expectation was, that she came to say vows with the man that supposed to be her husband and be done. The wedding was only a formality of their agreement, and then she could go home, and then they could mind their own business.But the reality was beyond her expectations. The people, this building, and her husband…As now she was more aware of her surroundings, she could see that this building was spacious and magnificent, the ceilings were high and most of the walls were made of glass that curved outwards. Some pillars form like ribs from the bottom to the roof. She felt like she was in a capsized, transparent, giant ship. It’s beautiful. The rustic decoration also caught her eye. So many flowers, she felt like they were in the Blooms Garden.When they picked her up from the hospital, Aria was asleep and she didn’t know where they taking her. She

Aria's eyes widened but Alex didn't seem to care to explain any longer because the meaning of his words was obvious.“Aria!” Someone interrupted her thoughts and stopped her steps.Alex's cold gaze fixed on the top five candidates of the most hated human list in his dictionary.Aria looked wary as her not-so-friendly step-sister walked closer, along with Susan and her father.They looked weird. Because they smiled at her.“Hi, Alexander, my name is Jasmine, I'm Aria's older sister, though we're just a year apart…” She giggled.Aria rolled her eyes almost to the back of her head. What is she trying to do now? Didn't she just giggle and act like a cheap woman in front of her husband?“Mr. Grissham.”Alexander's deep voice could be heard and he said it coldly. His grip on Aria's hand tightened but it didn't hurt her a bit.“Excuse me?” Jasmine didn't quite catch that. Or she did. It's just she's so stupid that she didn't realize the other party was clearly upset."My name is Mr. Grissham

Silence filled the car once again, the driver turned the engine on and drove slowly out of the parking lot. Alex didn't say anything. He could feel her gaze on him but he kept his eyes fixed on the window. Not that he didn't care. It's quite the opposite. From the way they looked at her, talked to her, and put her in this situation, already talking so much about it. Now, he was thinking about where to start with them. Aria leaned on her seat as she looked around. This was not the car Alex usually used. This one was bigger and spacious, even with her thick and big dress, she didn't feel cramped. This made her feel more relieved. “Alex,” Aria called him. Alex turned his head to her. “Hm.” "Do you know about this wedding?" She asked. She had been curious since earlier. “Yes,” Alex answered briefly. "Then, do you know I am the bride?" Alex looked at her closely. Aria would usually look away because her gaze was too intimidating. But this time she didn't want to lose. She wanted t

Aria didn't understand. What made Alex look so… upset?He walked away from the mirror and back to the couch to get his suit. “We just got married and you want to leave.”Aria was sure he was mumbling but she could hear him clearly."I do not mean it." Aria approached him but Alex walked around to a door which Aria guessed was the bathroom door. Without even looking at her.“Well, I didn't know you were so indifferent about this. You even want to leave your husband and we just got married." After that, he opened the door and went inside, ignoring Aria who was trying to call him.“Alex! I do not mean it!" Aria clung to the bathroom door but she didn't dare open it. She hoped that Alex would still listen to what she said.Aria stood still in front of the door, with all the feelings of guilt that now haunted her.Of course, Alex did it on purpose...He smirked when he remembered her face that immediately regretted everything as if she was doing and saying something wrong. Which she did no

That night, Alex managed to persuade Aria to went back to the mansion after he agreed to go to her apartment so she could water her flowers first. Alex secretly ordered his men to bring all pots of her flowers to the mansion garden so that she didn’t need to back to that apartment. When they arrived at the mansion, Aria was already asleep in the car and Alex carried her to the bedroom. She didn't wake up when Alex picked her up, carried her bridal style to the bedroom, and put her on the soft bed. Other people would think that she was too tired. However, Alex knew very well that this was all because of the medicine he mixed in Aria's drink in the car. Alex sighed and shook his head. He didn't do that because Aria was heavy. But thinking that he wouldn't do this with anyone else at all. Never before, and never would if that person wasn't Aria. He stopped to admire her beautiful sleeping face. In his entire life, this was the first time he had allowed someone else to sleep in his be
